There is flash sale for 30% off till 8pm tonight at gilt city. I received OCTRUSH and MADRUSH30 as a code.

Yup, same here!! Clearly stated no SPF products, and prefer natural, organic vs products containing harsh chemical, preservatives, and alcohol.. So their perfect “match” for me was hydroxatone???!!?.. I just emailed them and if no resolution, then I’m contesting the charge with my CC.. I’m pissed…

In case anyone is a current user who wanted to take advantage of this deal without creating a new account- I emailed their customer service, and because I was already on another voucher for my account (Ideel), they were able to manually apply the new voucher to extend my account without me having to create a new one. They were very helpful.

That’s strange, I emailed them a few weeks ago with a similar situation. I currently am using my voucher from Rue La La which expired this month. I purchased another voucher through the Ideel offer but when I contacted customer service they told me I couldn’t extend my current account. I would have to start a new account. I wonder if they’ve made updates to their system since.

browse around there are a couple subs on sale… book of the month.. Bestowed…. hatchery… freshology (not sure where they ship to and lordy $$$$$$$)….. I don’t know these subs but some of you may…. I wish they would make it easier to find things like this

Apparently I have ordered from Gilt City before so I can’t use the welcome code. I think this is still a pretty good deal though. Do I need more stuff? No. Will I buy more stuff? Yes. (Plus, we are selling our house to buy another one and the agent told us to move a bunch of stuff to storage to make closets seem larger. Now I have tons of room for more stuff!! LOL!)

Thanks for this info, Liz. I just ordered the 4-month deal on Gilt City.

FYI to fellow readers – if you’re new to Gilt City, you can use the promo code WELCOME20 to get an additional 20% off. My total for the 4-mo BeautyDNA deal Liz posted, along with that 20% code, came to $46.40, or $11.60/box. Not bad!

Kim – Liz’s posted links worked for me. But it looks like this deal is only showing up on the “Atlanta” page, not on the national one, so maybe try that? I got the 20% off promo code on slickdeals.net, entered it on the Gilt City checkout page, and it worked. Hope that helps!

I got in on the Ideel BeautyDNA deal a few months ago and have to say I LOVE this subscription. It has an extremely lengthy survey about what you like/dislike and you can rate your top 5 areas that you want to focus on. So far I’ve received one $75 face cream and just received a $110 night cream. Both of these products will last me a long time as they’re full size products. Very impressed! Hoping this GiltCity can be used for current subscribers! Highly recommend it – especially when you can get it discounted!

Just curious if the value you are citing is from the product card, or if you’ve verified the value on other websites? When I used to sub to BeautyDNA, I kept getting things that actually sold for much cheaper on Amazon (and had poor reviews). They were brands/products that were not sold by reputable retailers like Sephora/Ulta/dept stores, etc. I am hoping the products they send now are better! If so, I will re-sub!

There’s a pretty long survey/questionnaire that you have to fill out so the products are picked just for you so you might want to check it out.
I really like it bc I can get full size quality products that I would never be able to afford otherwise. I started when they had one of these great deals and am so happy I did.
I also thought I read someone’s comment that they did have a problem with one of the products that was sent to them and they contacted the company and they either refunded her or sent her something different.

They will work with you, just be SUPER specific in your survey. A few months they couldn’t match me at all because they won’t repeat the same type of products in the same year (like facial cleansers). They refunded me on that case.
